Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert

The leading German soprano Dorothea Röschmann has put together a fascinating programme for her live BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime concert. Together with pianist Malcolm Martineau she begins with three of Schubert's so-called 'Mignon' songs, settings of texts by Goethe. Next comes a selection from Mahler's folk-inspired 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn' and finally seven ripely romantic songs by the young Alban Berg, written in the early years of the 20th century. Presented by Fiona Talkington.
